Tropical Storm Lee

[Grendal]

Anyone making preps or taking this storm serious. The weather forecasters are making this storm sound like it could equal the May '95 flood.

Anyone being affected by the winds, rain, flooding?

Plenty of wine. CAT 35kw genset in the yard. Good to go!

[Grendal]

My lights will probably go out, as usual.. Glow sticks, MRE's, water, tuna, and sardines. Good to go.

Huh !! What storm.?

 

[PrairieCajun]

Done with preps. Went to the grocery (had to do that anyway), put away my ficus trees off of the patio and checked the oil in the gen. Done. Oh, forgot, I bought rum. Now, done.

[SVTFreak]

Couple gallons of gas just in case. Well water so genny will handle it if needed. Food is under control already.

Took this today. Lastnight, threw my crab trap out the bobber was about on top of the water, 5-6 inches.. now its 2-4 inches under.... haha... just got back home.. pretty well stocked up just praying the water does not flood me out again. I just moved here last month, last time I was here Katrina came thru

Got called in for special extra shift Saturday morning - when I was looking forward to the first opportunity to sleep late in about 2 weeks.

where do you guys usually pick up your glow sticks? What is a good price to pay for them?

I picked up a few of these http://www.lifegearcompany.com/glowsticks/index.html at the Home Depot by me for just under $2 for a pack of 3. I like them.

I'm still offshore, so I've been watching it all day!

 

[LSUh20fowler]

I'm riding this one out offshore because our company waited to late to evacuate us. The helicopters have done flown north to Lake Charles. This platform is rocking like a pirogue in the Pacific.

 

[Skiney]

Have boat filled with gas sitting un-tethered on trailer and a case of twinkies and three bags of pork skins, along with four cases of bottled water.

Sitting here with my neighbor Noah and his animals awaiting outcome of Lee:}

Left the shop early to shelter up at home. I got some considerate bosses there at the shop. I was busy working, completely oblivious to anything but my work, really, and forgot about the incoming storm until around lunch time when some of the other guys mentioned it was a TS now/then. Like 10 minutes later one of the bosses remembers I have to drive all the way back to Lafayette (from BR) and tells me to head out before I get stuck in BR, if they close the Basin bridge, and before the weather stirs up too quick and makes it dangerous.

Otherwise, I mainly just made sure I got the easily-blown-around stuff put up in the shed, and bought a case of beer. I keep jugs and bottles full of water frozen in the freezer in case I need to move them down into the fridge, or in a cooler, to keep the beer cold in case of power outage :P

 

[LACamper]

Filled up the gas cans just in case.

Somebody explain to me if we're expecting bad weather why don't they pump the canals all the way down? Is there a good reason not to?

 

[themcfarland]

just cut the bait from the gator lines and am at home waiting it out, plenty of supplies here and not really concerned. YET

 

[killerphish]

Im about 150 miles offshore from Camron and its rough out here. Winds in the 50mph range and 12+ foot seas.

 

[Barney88PDC]

Put some Diesel in the generator just incase although I doubt I'll need it. Picked up some groceries that we needed any way. Filled up the truck. Got the grass cut and plan to watch football all weekend.
